Was the hate for Vocera shared among all who had to use it? How did it come to pass that you had to use Vocera?

Yes everyone hated it, but hospital admins forced us to use it. Giant hospital system with a enormous service provider contracts so user happiness and feedback isn't really a factor. The threads of people complaining about Vocera on reddit are pretty entertaining: https://www.reddit.com/r/nursing/comments/1lfavny/the_day_fi...
The most awesome voice system I ever used was the Motorola push to talk walkie talkies we used when I was a medic. Those things were bombproof and never lost signal, never f*cked up, just always worked, batteries last for weeks and were reliable af. Those things were the freaking BEST lol.
